    In Agatha Christie’s classic mystery 4:50 From Paddington, a woman in one train witnesses a murder occurring in another passing one…and only Miss Marple believes her story.

    But who, apart from Mrs. McGillicuddy’s friend Jane Marple, would take her story seriously? After all, there are no other witnesses, no suspects, and no case — for there is no corpse, and no one is missing.

    Miss Marple asks her highly efficient and intelligent young friend Lucy Eyelesbarrow to infiltrate the Crackenthorpe family, who seem to be at the heart of the mystery, and help unmask a murderer.

    When's Mummy Coming?: A completely gripping and unforgettable story about the Kindertransport during WW2 (Hearts at War Book 1) Germany 1939: “Heinz, take her, please.” Trudi’s voice trembled, her hands shaking as she held the baby out to him. Liesel screamed in protest, grabbing a length of her mother’s hair. “Forget what you think of me. She is your baby sister.” Tears now rolled down her face as she pleaded with him. “You have to save her… you have to save each other.”

    England, 1939: In a sleepy village Trudi’s baby and stepsons are taken in by Sally Matthews. Newly married, Sally is missing her husband, who is away training for war, and her days and her home feel empty. But all that changes when she volunteers to look after children from the Kindertransport. She quickly becomes captivated by five-year-old Tomas and his baby sister, Liesel.

    Scarred by his time in Dachau and his father’s death, Heinz is a different story. A distant and troubled soul, his attitude makes him difficult to love, and he faces hostility from locals who aren’t as kind-hearted as Sally and her friends and can’t see past his German accent and surly expression. Sally worries for his future, and her worst fears come true when the military police knock at her door.

    As the conflict deepens, Sally and the children learn to live with the hand that war has dealt them. Trying with all her might to hold her newfound family together, Sally longs for peace. Will her husband ever come home to her, and if he does, will he be able to accept the children she now loves as her own? And what if Trudi survives and comes to claim them, and Sally loses them forever?

    Former house cat turned war hero, Mort(e) is famous for taking on the most dangerous missions and fighting the dreaded human bio-weapon EMSAH. But the true motivation behind his recklessness is his ongoing search for a pre-transformation friend—a dog named Sheba. When he receives a mysterious message from the dwindling human resistance claiming Sheba is alive, he begins a journey that will take him from the remaining human strongholds to the heart of the Colony, where he will discover the source of EMSAH and the ultimate fate of all of earth’s creatures.

    Unfortunately, when you’re already scraping the bottom of the barrel, the only help you find is the one you probably don’t want. Like the magical black market, where backstabbing is more of a competitive sport than a hobby, or the sexy, infuriating nightmare that’s the angel Zel.

    But we don’t talk about him. Because murder is illegal, and I might just strangle him…

    On location in Boston, bad-boy actor Jumbo Nelson is accused of the rape and murder of a young woman. From the start the case seems fishy, so the Boston PD calls on Spenser to investigate.

    In the course of the investigation, Spenser encounters Jumbo’s bodyguard: a young, former football-playing Native American named Zebulon Sixkill. Sixkill acts tough, but Spenser sees something more within the young man. Despite the odd circumstances, the two forge an unlikely alliance, with Spenser serving as mentor for Sixkill.

    As the case grows darker and secrets about both Jumbo and the dead girl come to light, it’s Spenser–with Sixkill at his side–who must put things right.

    As mothers we never dare to delve into our worst-nightmare scenarios. What if… we might murmur to each other, and then shake our heads, telling ourselves it’ll never happen to us if we’re just good enough mothers. Yet here we are. And the steady beep of the heart monitor is the only evidence the child in front of us is alive…

    It’s Labor Day weekend, so of course we went to the beach. Like we do every year. For a barbecue picnic with my best friend Rose. It’s the perfect tradition—drinks, games, burgers, music, laughter. Together with our husbands, my two teenage sons and her two daughters, we all arrived as the sun was still shimmering over the water, the whole evening ahead of us.

    But nothing goes to plan. Old secrets emerge, tempers flare. And so we parents decide to leave the beach, telling the teenagers to enjoy themselves, reassuring them someone will be back to collect them in an hour or two.

    But when I return a little while later, I know something is really wrong. Our teens are slurring their words, stumbling to the car. It’s clear they have been drinking and I’m shocked. I never expected our kids to behave this way. I’m bracing myself to have firm words with them in the morning, but the next day my concerns fade to nothing, when seventeen-year-old Bella claims my son Finn assaulted her.

    Finn insists he would never do that. And I so want to believe him. Because I brought my son up right. Because a mother would know, wouldn’t she?

    What I don’t know is that the answer to what happened that night on the beach may be a matter of life and death for one of our beloved children…

But the town board sides with Katz, greenlighting the resort… and the possible end to both her Maine island paradise and the inn she’s gambled everything to buy.

    Can Natalie track down the true killer before she’s hauled off to jail…or will she be next on the chopping block?
